Domingo German: From A Beautiful Game To The Alcoholic’s Unit
The Yankees defeated the Athletics 0-11 at Oakland on June 29, with Dominican pitcher Domingo German pitching a “perfect game.” In MLB’s lengthy history, it has only occurred 24 times, and the previous eleven years had not seen it. German reached the sky, causing uproar due to his colorful background, including penalties.

His teammates in San Francisco encouraged him to join them for drinks that night, but he stayed in his room to make phone calls to his loved ones. He was aware that temptation was present downstairs.
Domingo German recently agreed to participate voluntarily in a plan for alcoholism recovery, and the Yankees have now revealed that he will miss the entire season. He must make an appointment to check into a hospital.
In the Yankees’ consistently excellent announcement, the thin line between success and failure, between heaven and hell, omnipresent in American professional sports, was once again visible.
According to Brian Cashman, general manager of the 27-time World Series champion team,
“German has dealt with alcohol abuse in the past, but now he’s had a more recent situation, a serious problem.”
German gained more notoriety for his suspensions than for his skills. He was ejected from a game against the Blue Jays in May this season after being given a 10-game rest for using a foreign substance, glue. He had an earlier 81-game suspension for breaking the domestic violence rules in 2020.
